It's close to home by blood or block
I hate the bed, and I hate the dock
This loss of life is killing me
Effecting unexpectedly
But what's one more yeah let me go
Let me suffer nice and slow
The pack is watching patiently
Stand in line to wait and see
But that's the problem seeing it coming
Does nothing till it comes
We're deaf until the heavens
Are beating the drums
But it's too late, too late, and I don't know when it turned into
Fate, unavoidable so I better get prepared
It's too late, but i'll take ignorance over being so scared
(then pick A#m7 chord)
*tempo change*
I'm not coming out of this box
Till everyone's forgotten me
This ought to be a welcome vacation
I'm not coming out of this box
Till everyone's forgotten me
My thoughts will be secluded elation
*back to original tempo*
I'm starting to loose track of who's alive and who has passed
On and on and on, and who is here and who is gone
That's the problem seeing it coming, does nothing till it comes
We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums
But it's too late.
